The kids were given a paper jar to cut out...tricky cutting out the inside! :) The jars were laminated and the film was left in the middle. We then fingerprinted the wings of fireflies with glow in the dark neon paint. Add a silver sharpie body and voila!! So cute!!

Fireflies-laminate cut out jars- fingerprint w/ glow in the dark paint- silver sharpie bodies--great idea to go with... with mason jars and diy fireflies coated in glow in the dark--ir making up a string of glowing fireflies to hang around a bedpost or something!

Teacher Humor - SO TRUE!

@Katiebeck Add endless paperwork, too many meetings, data, assessments, meeting the individual needs of too many children at one time, etc.

The class we should have been offered before we graduated! Let's add lice too.. Don't really get the ramen noodles.

Teacher Humor - for my teacher friends!

The class we should have been offered before we graduated!--I agree with this. In my 10 years of teaching Pre-K I've plunged a toilet hundreds of times, cleaned up puke at lunch when my co-workers ran the other way, dealt with some sticky situations, sat through some boring presentations, and ate ramen and PB and J when the paycheck didn't come for another 2 weeks. It's a struggle and a rewarding job :)

Free Teacher Appreciation printable inspired by chalkboard art. Fits in an 8x10 opening and would look lovely framed. From balancinghome.com @Morgan Ross didn't you mention you need teacher gifts? This would be cheap and super cute!

Handprint Ghosts and other Halloween ideas (CRAFT IDEA)

SEMI-SUCCESS: Cute Halloween craft project We did this at our annual Halloween party and it was semi-successful. The kids seemed to enjoy it, but I certainly couldn't make out any ghost figures when all was said and done.

Teacher gift idea: find a big jar and a glass cup that fits inside. Carefully slide plastic alphabet letters (the kind that are magnets that stick to the fridge) between the jar and the glass cup. Fill the inside cup with water and flowers
